College Physical Education Majors Injury Risk and Functional Movement Screen Scores

A 2026 prospective cohort study of 355 physical education majors assessed sports injury risk using Functional Movement Screen (FMS) scores over one semester. The dataset includes FMS test results, injury outcomes, and derived metrics like an optimal cutoff score of 15 points and an odds ratio of 9.17 for injury risk.

Use Cases

• Analyze the association between total FMS scores and sports injury risk using the derived odds ratio of 9.17.
• Validate the diagnostic significance of the FMS using the reported AUC of 0.8338, sensitivity of 0.6538, and specificity of 0.8889.
• Apply the study's optimal cutoff score of 15 points to screen for high injury risk in similar athletic populations.
• Investigate the relationship between the seven individual FMS test results and injury outcomes as explored in the binary logistic regression.

Strengths

• Prospective cohort design with 355 subjects monitored for injuries over one semester.
• Analysis provides concrete metrics: an AUC of 0.8338 and an adjusted odds ratio of 8.21 for injury risk.
• Reported according to STROBE guidelines for observational studies.

Limitations

• Dataset scope is limited to 76.4 KB, likely containing summary results and analysis, not the raw 355-subject records.
• Sample is specific to college physical education majors, limiting generalizability to other athlete populations.
• Temporal coverage is confined to a single academic semester.
